    Spotting scope on a budget

    I have the XW 10, which equates to 39x on the Pentax PF-65EDII. I also have the XW 20, which is 19.5x. Both have a very wide field of view and great eye relief for me. The XW 10 sees more use at the range. The XW 20 travels into the field. Both are bright and have a a lot of fans in the...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    Every time a vehicle gets purchased the state collects sales tax, a dealer pays at least 5 employees ( salesperson, sales manager, finance manager, service tech, title clerk, etc) and we all pay taxes too. Cars are a crucial part of the economy, and people love owning and driving them. They...

    Auto defaults ( most end in repossession but not all due to lenders working out repayment terms with debtors) were analyzed by Cox Automotive and they predict that repossession rates will drop in 22 and 23. Less than .5% of auto loans go into default on average and lenders know this and price...

    I’ll make no excuses for seeing a customer driving away in a $60k rig with a smile on his face knowing that my dealership made a healthy profit. We have 85 employees paying taxes, making mortgage payments and supporting their families. Our dealership supports multiple youth sports teams, 2...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    The dog in the fight to get your rig fixed is always the dealership because we get paid to do the work and sell the parts. We know that we are getting paid when we are deal with a manufacturers warranty, so parts get ordered immediately, you get a loaner car, and usually there is no deductible...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    You might be assigning too much forethought to the dealers and the bankers. There is no master plan in this marketplace right now. I can tell you with great certainty that dealers are reacting to market conditions, not shaping them. If you don’t need a vehicle or want one then sit this dance...

    In our case we would take you out of your trade and provide a loaner vehicle for your use until the new vehicle arrived. That being said, we only offer this for inbound units that are expected within the next 45 days. It’s not an ideal situation for either party, but we are making it work...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    If I needed a new vehicle I’d try to buy it now. Expect to pay MSRP plus some sort of addendum pricing. If you have a trade it will never be worth more than it is right now, and that will help offset the higher price on the new vehicle. Interest rates are still low, but that can’t last...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    I am a sales manager at a large dealership that sells a Japanese product. A year ago our manufacturer offered us dealer cash on most of the vehicles we sold. Today we receive no incentive money. We currently are enjoying record profits selling fewer units. Manufacturers will never pump out...
